***Official Draft Tyler Wilson Thread****

[Mr_Tomahawk]

...might as well get this started early.

Perhaps his injury well allow him to slip to the middle of the of the 1st round,..where we tend to draft.

That's the whole point of it. People have this idea that need is somehow unrelated to player ranking when you're talking about BPA. And it's not. The position is a part of how you weigh a prospect's value. It has to be. The draft is about building and improving the team as a whole, not just picking players based on their rankings in a vacuum.

NFL Network's Mike Mayock pointed to Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson as one player who capitalized on his Senior Bowl opportunity after a relatively disappointing senior season.
Mayock called Wilson perhaps the one quarterback generating the most "buzz" in Mobile this year. "We talked a little bit about Tyler Wilson's senior year, which was difficult, versus his junior year, which was superlative," Mayock said. "I think what we're seeing right now is that, given the opportunity to come out here with all that baggage gone, I think he's taken advantage of it. I think he's looked real good." It's a good sign that Wilson shined in live practices as a pure thrower of the ball. In-pocket toughness -- not tested in the Senior Bowl atmosphere -- is his most impressive trait. Jan 24 - 2:26 PM

Yup.

Right now we have B at tackle and the best prospect is projected to be an A- at T.

PROJECTED.

So at best we find a crack in the dam and plug the crack.

Really?

With our only 1st pick in the draft THAT is what we're going to ****ing do?...

I hate it when Mayock uses the word "superlative".

He obviously has no clue how it is actually used and he says it ALL THE TIME.

His toughness is a good trait and his worst trait for me. I like tyler and geno, but Tyler does not know when to get down/ out of bounds. Guy will just take a huge hit. Its one thing if he gets right up, but hes had concussions due to it.

Wilson's a guy I've heard a lot about this week at night from the coaches and scouts. Because he had such mixed reviews coming off the tough senior season. Came down here, spun it pretty effectively." It's a good sign that Wilson shined in live practices as a pure thrower of the ball.

EDIT: just beaten to the punch again with the info.

Putting together my new player rankings for 2013. I also may be having a major change of heart as to who should go No. 1 OVR to the Chiefs



Who could it be>?

Nassib. He went to Syracuse, just like McNabb.

Knew this kid was going to own at the Senior Bowl. None of the QB's here are even close to this guy.

Yep.. He's a good looking prospect. Him and Geno are at a different level than any of the other qb prospects. We can't miss out on getting one of the two.

[Bo's Pelini]

Wilson was more productive against tougher competition.

Yeah. Just ate a sandwich with coach Reid and told him Landry Jones will get him fired.

I agree.

His toughness is what initially drew me too him. The dude takes some wicked hits.

Couple that with Bigger, faster Defensive players and his concussion history (overblown or not) and you have a recipe for disaster.

[the Talking Can]

this 'buzz' is great news

we need separation in the QBs to kill this dumb idea that "they're all the same, draft one in the 2nd"...

also, the more buzz there is, the more the media falls in line and that will help kill the "no QB is worth the #1" idiocy...
